True, but the shipping costs nowadays are a killer.

There is a significant diff buying from amazon.com with sinkie shipping vs buying from amazon.sg. Dunno why like that, but maybe they just want to encourage sinkies to go to amazon.sg

Check if amazon.sg has it. On amazon.com, they will indicate that you buy on amazon.sg - this means that it is available.

Even if you buy from amazon.com, it is worth it. Because the price is cheaper and you can select the fastest shipping (their shipping rates are actually very cheap). Please check if shopee or lazada have the items you want, sometimes those 2 are cheaper or roughly the same.

That's the point what. If amazon.sg has why not buy from there? It's the same source but with free shipping. It will be stated that it ships from Amazon.us.

Yes but the point is the US site sales are bigger and better like during prime day or black friday

But the shipping is a huge put off

Buy from amazon.sg. And get amazon sg prime. The shipping will drop and $2.99 subscription is worth it

But not all American amazon items are available, especially for electronics

Amazon.sg has the US products but with cheaper or free shipping if more than $30 if I recall.

But as I said, some of the more expensive electronics is not available on amazon.sg. Probably due to manufacturer restrictions or the lithium battery shipping problem (for devices)
